True Rarity 1,240 February 5, 2014 Share February 5, 2014 Because let's face it, poor Spike is one of the only of his kind without wings. We've seen all sorts of dragons, and all of them can fly... except for Spike. Obviously he's special in other ways, with his magical fire that can send letters to Princess Celestia, but still! I can imagine an episode about Spike getting wings. Twilight would freak out while Rainbow Dash would think it's really cool. If not wings, I think we need more history. Where did Spike come from? Why is his fire different? WHY CAN'T HE FLY?!?! 3 My deviantART Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champion RD92 8,658 February 5, 2014 Share February 5, 2014 Well he's just a kid, I don't think he will get wings until he is much older. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars 4,863 February 5, 2014 Share February 5, 2014 We definitely need more Spike love that's more character development and less jokes. I think it'd be cool of him to get his wings, but he really is just a baby dragon. He might not get those for centuries or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hive King 2,001 February 5, 2014 Share February 5, 2014 He needs Red Bull to get wings Seriously, that'd be stupid. When Spike grew up, he had no wings "Aren’t we the same? You know, aren’t you carrying the same mindset as I am? Just because you couldn’t bear to lose, you lost your precious partner! You really call yourself a true duelist? You’re the complete opposite of that!" -Weevil Underwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Old Head 4,816 February 5, 2014 Share February 5, 2014 (edited) Well he's just a kid, I don't think he will get wings until he is much older. If we were to take Secret Of My Excess as a clue, Spike wouldn't even have any wings in his adult form. It could just be a change in the growth pattern if it's brought about prematurely by greed, which is what we learned about dragons from that episode, but otherwise Spike is anomalous like that. @ OP, I think for an episode like that to work we'd need dragon biology to be established first off. It's simpler for ponies, they can either be Earth ponies or Pegasi, but we don't yet know whether all dragons have wings or in fact there are many more wingless dragons just like our Spike n.n Edited February 5, 2014 by Cheese Sandwich 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metemponychosis 1,262 February 5, 2014 Share February 5, 2014 The way the show has been treating Spike, I would be surprised if he got anything as cool as wings. He only exists to be the target of crude humor. And people get frustrated over Scootaloo. At least she has wings. Well, we can hope. I'd like him to have wings. Even if in Secret of My Excess he didn't have them. As people have said: natural, normal growth may be different from what happened in that episode. https://www.fimfiction.net/user/32864/Metemponychosis For dumb, self-important fics about mythology, ponies and fascist griffons that can't figure friendship out. And I'm just getting started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fhaolan 4,494 February 5, 2014 Share February 5, 2014 There was another dragon without wings. The teenage dragon Spike tailwrestled with in the Dragon Quest episode had no wings. However, in that same episode they teased Spike for not having wings. It's possible that he's not the same kind of dragon they are, given that he has a rather unique origin. We don't know how Celestia's School got ahold of a dragon egg in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freewave 1,145 February 5, 2014 Share February 5, 2014 I really don't think we need even Spike to become an alicorn princess too. 5 I have made brony music since 2011.

NavelColt 22,883 February 6, 2014 Share February 6, 2014 If the series hadn't shown nothing but winged dragons thus far, I'd say he doesn't need them. But, my ideal world of DHX having established ground-dwelling wingless dragons or something similar clearly is not canon and doubtfully ever will be, so who knows, perhaps some day he will. Dragons' life-spans are ridiculously long compared to ponies, Twilight's grown to be a young adult and he's still a, quote unquote, 'baby dragon'. For all we know he simply hasn't reached dragon puberty yet, and thus wings just aren't developing yet. After all, he may be practically the only dragon seen without wings, but he's also the only dragon anywhere near his age we've seen. We've seen teen dragons, who do have wings, so I'd say it's probably a come-of-age thing. INB4 the fandom finds reasons to bitch about Spike getting wings, too, if it should so happen.

Wild Star 141 February 6, 2014 Share February 6, 2014 I think it would be great to have spike get wings, (i feel they do owe it to us, since we know next to nothing about spike or his kind otherwise, plus the hottopic...?) i personally think it would be difficult to do well, although im sure they could pull it off. unless we see more foreshadowing to lead up to that, i have a feeling it wont happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forlong 1,726 February 6, 2014 Share February 6, 2014 Yeah, because last time they gave a main character wings worked out so well. 1 Check out my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5qXAcUzrizEHvorGalU5jg?feature=watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Silver Essence~ 2,625 February 6, 2014 Share February 6, 2014 It could make sense that spike could earn wings, but at the aame time, not really. If anything that we were shown in secret to my excess, if he does grow up, he will just be a strong dragon. However, that was by being greedy, if he grows up nice instead, he could earn the ability to fly as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkiefan1287 610 February 7, 2014 Share February 7, 2014 WHY CAN'T HE FLY?!?! Because he doesn't have wings. As for me I don't see the point in giving Spike wings. We already have Twilight still getting used to flying and another character who can't fly. I don't see the point in giving more characters the need or want to fly. Besides we've seen him grow and he doesn't have wings. Spike seems to be a dragon who can't fly. Made by Gone ϟ Airbourne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChoroChii 284 February 7, 2014 Share February 7, 2014 No? He's just a baby, why would he grow wings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Something Floaty 1,334 February 7, 2014 Share February 7, 2014 I say no. Not because I disagree with the idea of Spike getting wings, but because I disagree with the idea of a Spike-centered episode. More ponies please. Less Spike. Signature created by Champion RD92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
